How to Add an AI-Generated Form Using Copilot in Microsoft Power Pages

Add an AI-Generated Form Using Copilot

Microsoft Power Pages allows you to quickly create forms using Copilot. Instead of manually building tables, forms, and configurations, you can simply describe the form you need in natural language, and Copilot generates it automatically. This AI-powered capability significantly reduces development time and helps makers create business forms more efficiently.

What is Copilot Form Generation?

Copilot in Power Pages enables users to generate forms by describing their requirements in plain language. Based on your description, Copilot creates the necessary Dataverse table, Power Pages form, and supporting components. A preview is displayed before the form is added to the page, allowing you to review and refine the generated form.

Create a Form with Copilot

1. Open the Pages workspace in Power Pages Design Studio.
2. Select the page where you want to add the form.
3. Choose the Form component.
4. Enter a description of the form you want Copilot to generate.
5. You can enter up to 250 characters in the description box.
6. Press Enter or select the paper airplane icon to submit your request.
7. Review the generated form preview.
8. Refine the description or use quick actions to update the form.
9. Select OK when you are satisfied with the generated form.

Review and Refine the Form

After generating a form, Copilot displays a preview so you can verify the layout and fields before adding it to your website. You can continue refining the description, use quick actions to adjust the form, or start over with a completely new request.

• Review generated fields and layout.
• Modify the prompt to improve results.
• Access previous prompts from the history panel.
• Use Start Over to generate a completely new form.

What Happens Behind the Scenes?

When you add a Copilot-generated form to a page, Power Pages automatically creates the required components in the background.

• A Microsoft Dataverse table.
• A Dataverse form.
• A Power Pages basic form.
• Supporting configurations required for data collection.

All components generated by Copilot use the prefix Copilot. For example, a Visitor Information form creates a Dataverse table named Copilot Visitor Information, which becomes available in the Data workspace.

Start with a Prebuilt Form

Instead of writing your own description, you can choose from prebuilt form templates suggested by Power Pages. These templates are selected based on your website scenario and help accelerate form creation.

Examples of Prebuilt Forms

• Scholarship Application Form
• Customer Support Form
• Contact Request Form
• Event Registration Form
• Feedback Collection Form

Benefits of AI-Generated Forms

• Accelerates form creation.
• Reduces manual configuration effort.
• Automatically generates Dataverse tables and forms.
• Provides intelligent form recommendations.
• Improves productivity for makers and developers.
• Allows rapid prototyping of business applications.

Best Practices

• Use clear and specific descriptions when generating forms.
• Review generated fields before publishing.
• Rename fields and tables when necessary.
• Apply proper security permissions to generated forms.
• Test form submissions before going live.
• Use prebuilt templates when suitable for your business scenario.

Summary

AI-generated forms with Copilot make form creation faster and easier in Microsoft Power Pages. By simply describing your requirements, Copilot automatically generates the required Dataverse objects and Power Pages forms, enabling organizations to build business solutions more efficiently while maintaining flexibility for future customization.
